fermi's paradox       
                          
                                          
 on  earth  (the  planet  where i live) a 
 lot of  us  have antennas on our  houses 
 or   balconies,   we  have  built  large 
 antennas  for larger  bandwith,  we have 
      build specialized antennaes for     
    specific wavelengths (and sent them   
 into  orbit), we've built large as  fuck 
              antenna arrays              
 we've virtually built an antenna  with a 
         dish as large as earth.          
                                          
 we've learned about  our position in the 
     solar system, our solar systems      
 placement  in   the  galaxy,   and   our 
 galaxys placement in the local  cluster, 
 and our  local clusters  place  in the 
          grand scheme of things          
                                          
 and  we're  moving  around  the  sun  at 
 velocity and the  suns moving around the 
 center  of the  galaxy  at velocity  and 
 the  galaxy is  moving  toward andromeda 
    and we're both moving anticlockwise   
 around the galaxy.  and  we as a species 
 have learned to take all that in account 
                                          
 and despite  all this, despite  all  our 
   (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar    
 radio  programmes  out in fucking  space 
 at  the  speed  of  light (light  is our 
  medium! goodspeed you, black emperor!), 
      despite ghosts helping and the      
     collective consciousness lowpass     
    filtering, despite our very obvious   
 beaming  of all  our  secrets  in  every 
          direction known to us,          
                                          
 no       one       has       answered

             so why is that?              
                                          
 most  opponents to  intelligent life  in 
 the universe  say it's because you  need 
 a class  one-or-the-other  star and  the 
 planet  needs  to  be  at  a  see-and-so 
 distance away  from the star (like there 
           has to be a planet!)           
                                          
 but   really  isn't   that  keeping  the 
      definition of life really lax?      
                                          
 i think  everyone agrees that we have no 
 idea what  we're doing (and  it probably 
                  shows)

 i'm gonna  go  smoke my  third cigarette 
 this  year and  try to snatch some beers 
        from the local beer thing
